ISG

ISG has chosen to support Mental Health UK as their charity partner until 2021. One of their key corporate goals is to drive revolutionary change within their industry and promoting mental health awareness as part of our partnership will help to do just that.

May 2019 – May 2021

About the partnership

Top ten global construction services company ISG has embarked on a three-year charity partnership with Mental Health UK. ISG is working hard to redefine what health and safety means for their employees and supply chain. This means not only supporting their physical health and safety, but providing staff with the tools to support mentally healthy workplaces.

With the help of Mental Health UK, ISG aims to lead the way for the construction industry, influencing mandatory health and safety training and regulation to incorporate holistic wellbeing. Over the next three years, ISG in the UK will be giving something back, raising awareness as well as much-needed funds.

The partnership aims to breathe life into their ‘always care’ value, and support their ‘All 4 by 24’ strategy, which is underpinned by their goals to offer an unbeatable employment experience and drive revolutionary change in the construction industry. Our partnership will help do just that, with a goal to create mentally healthy workplaces for their employees, the supply chain and the wider industry.

Achievements

Sept 2019

ISG are bringing back their popular Cycle for Charity. Their second annual bike ride returns to the beautiful country roads of Oxford and Reading with two new challenging 40-mile and 74-mile routes.

June 2019

6 adventurous people from ISG will be taking on one of the UK's most extreme hiking challenges, The Welsh 3000, to raise money for Mental Health UK. The challenge is to complete 50km and around 4000m of ascent and descent, walking all 15 peaks in the Snowdonia National Park that summit at over 3000ft. This is usually completed in 24 hours, but the team are hoping to finish in a record 12 hours or under. The team incredibly surpassed their fundraising target of £7,500 before the event.

May 2019

ISG launched the partnership during mental health awareness week with the ‘I’m All Ears’ campaign. Employees donated to wear blue ears, or green ears for mental health first aiders, to encourage people to say whatever they want, voice however they are feeling, and start a conversation about mental health without being judged. This amazing campaign got the partnership off to a fantastic start and we’re excited to see where the partnership goes next.
